How Handle Dealing With Someone Dating Who Is Getting Very Serious...are Not Sure If Able Because Of Disability?

Am having very conflicted feelings as I know I may never meet someone again who was interested in me in this way...but am not really sure can physically, emotionally and financially fullfill this person's visions for a future. I don't want to break up as care for this person...but don't think i could really fullfill her wishes.

I've struggled with this my whole life and continue to do so...I subconsciously sabotage every close relationship for fear of not being able to provide what that person deserves. I never thought it was fair to put them through the struggles of having a future with me. So without even realizing what I'm doing, I always begin pushing the person away and sabotaging any future with that person.

I did try to get past my insecurities enough at one point and tried my hand at marriage. That almost lasted a year before I blew that up! It's always my insecurities, and the more I care and love people, the more I push them away because I know they deserve the chance at a life I cannot provide. People always say that it's not for me to decide, but in my heart, I know that is true.

Let her decide if you can fulfil her wishes or not. Don’t be mean to her by presuming things.
